Doctor Who: Series Seven - Part One

EXTRAS are included in the Part 1 DVD release! GREAT EPISODES!
What amazing episodes make up Part 1 of Dr. Who Season 7. If you haven't heard the news or watched the fifth episode yet, then this will be a spoiler for you - the 5th episode is the last with Amy and Rory as the Doctor's companions. The 2012 Christmas special will introduce the new companion (more on that later). Part 2 of Season 7 will air in spring 2013.

Last year, I waited until the combined Part 1 & Part 2 DVD set of Series 6 was available, instead of buying the two Parts separately. This year, though, I'm buying them separately. The amazon price for Part 1 is low, and if pricing this year is the same as last year, it will save a dollars to do so even with also buying the Christmas special separately. I guess I'll have to see if its worth it.

EXTRAS for Doctor Who: Series Seven - Part One
Part 1, Season 7, November 2012 region 1 DVD release:
1. "Pond Life" Billed as a prequel...

Good, but somehow doesn't quite reach the heights of the previous two seasons.
Granted, this is only the first part of the series, and there is no denying that the Doctor still has me in his grasp. It just seems that the first four episodes were more or less delays or build-ups to the fifth episode, in which (if you don't already know this, I guess you managed to miss the BBC's aggressive and somewhat annoying promotion of that particular plot point) Rory and Amy are lost to the Doctor forever. Also, I felt the humor that is so key to Matt Smith's Doctor was lagging in the first two episodes. Usually when this is the case, it is replaced by his "dark side," in which he becomes an angry, unstoppable force. That didn't happen either.
Let it be known, however, that these episodes are still quite entertaining, perhaps even more so to those who don't go into it with the baggage of enormous expectations, as I did. Tastes differ. To give you some idea of mine,. my favorite Matt Smith Who episode to-date is "The Impossible Astronaut." Nothing in...

Geronimo!!!!
From the very first episode: Asylum of the Daleks to the mid season finale: The angels take Manhattan this series has been awesome!! Need I say anymore. I've been a fan of the series since the 60's with William Hartnell and I can truthfully say that the show has always been the best sci fi of all time. The story of the Ponds and their adventure with the doctor will be one that fans will talk about for years to come. After seeing each episode I feel that the writers did a good job of putting the cap on the series and the Ponds. Highlights from the series would have to be the doctor taking on all the Daleks, the doctor taking on a cyborg robot in the west, and the statue of liberty** oops spoilers*** And with the 50th anniversery around the corner I feel that great things are in store for us doctor who fans. Rumour has it that a couple of doctors from the past will be returning as it is rumoured that writer Stephan Moffet has had numerous meetings with David Tennant and Sylvester...
